While Bourlaās company developed the vaccine, he is not a frontline health-care worker himself. He said heās also 59 and in relatively good health, so itās not entirely appropriate for him to receive the vaccine before other people who need it more. If he was vaccinated on camera, he said it might help increase the publicās willingness to receive it, citing Pfizerās internal research. But he emphasized that ānone of the executives and board members will cut the line.āAny good chess player knows that the pawns go first.
"Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Monday he hasnāt taken the COVID-19 vaccine yet ā but only because he doesnāt want to be seen as jumping the line.
āI havenāt taken it yet and we are having an ethical committee dealing with the question of who is getting it."
